Description
Radiative corrections due to initial state radiation in electron-positron
annihilation are calculated within the QED structure function approach. NLO QED parton distribution functions are derived analytically. Results are shown in the next-to-leading logarithmic approximation up to $\mathcal{O}(\alpha^4 L^3)$ order, where $L=\ln(s/m_e^2)$ is the large logarithm. Several mistakes in previous calculations are corrected. The results are relevant for future high-precision experiments at $e^+e^-$ colliders.
